    About the Role
    The Transport Back Office Specialist provides essential administrative and operational support to the

    • Enter invoices into ZIP accurately, ensuring correct coding, cost allocation, and supporting
    documentation.
    • Track invoice approval status in ZIP and proactively follow up with internal approvers to keep
    the process moving.
    • Liaise with the finance and accounting teams to ensure approved invoices are paid on time.
    • Investigate and resolve discrepancies between invoices and agreed rates or contracts, escalating
    complex cases to the Transport Manager as needed.

    items.
    Document Management & Filing
    • Collect, organise, and file all transport-related documentation, including invoices, proof of

    • Ensure documents are stored accurately in the relevant systems (TMS, Jira, shared drives, or
    equivalent) and are readily accessible for audit or operational review.
    • Maintain documentation standards and naming conventions to support compliance and internal
    audit requirements.
    • Support the team during audits or compliance reviews by retrieving and compiling required
    records.
    Shipment Status Updates
    • Monitor active shipments and update shipment statuses in the relevant tracking systems (TMS,
    Jira, or equivalent) based on information received from carriers and the transport team.
    • Flag delays, exceptions, or missing updates to the responsible Transport Specialist or Manager.
    • Ensure shipment records are complete and accurate from booking through to final delivery
    confirmation.
    • Coordinate with carriers and vendors to obtain status updates or missing documentation where
    needed.
    Administrative Support to the Transport Team
    • Provide general administrative support to the transport team, including preparation of reports,
    data entry, and correspondence with external partners.
    • Assist in maintaining vendor contact lists, rate cards, and contract reference documents.
    • Support the onboarding of new carriers or vendors by collecting required documentation and
    setting them up in relevant systems.
    • Identify recurring administrative bottlenecks and suggest process improvements to increase
    efficiency.
    Requirements
    • 2+ years of experience in a logistics, transport, or supply chain back-office or administrative role.
    • Hands-on experience processing invoices and managing payment workflows, ideally using ZIP or
    a similar accounts payable or procurement platform.
    • Familiarity with transport management systems (TMS), Jira, or similar tools used for shipment
    tracking and documentation.
    • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — able to manage multiple open items
    simultaneously without losing track.
    • Proactive follow-up skills; comfortable chasing approvers, vendors, and carriers to keep
    processes on schedule.
    • Good understanding of transport and freight documentation (invoices, PODs, customs
    paperwork, etc.).
    • Proficient in Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets for tracking, reporting, and data management.
    • Clear written communication skills in English; able to correspond professionally with internal
    teams and external partners.
    • Ability to work independently and manage own workload with minimal supervision.
    Nice to Have
    • Experience supporting international freight operations, including familiarity with customs
    documentation.
